*Taryn's POV*

The shock of seeing demons flying around the room scared me out of my anger. "What the-?" I started but with my anger gone the demons disappeared. I definitely wasn't angry now, I was scared. I didn't want to go to my parents, they would think I'm crazy, my friends maybe? No, they to would think I'm crazy, or worse, a mutant. What if I was a mutant? No, Jean was a mutant, I was normal.

*Jeans POV*

After my fight with Scott I was a little upset. I new Scott must have heard something about me to make him a little on the edge so I wanted to find out who had done it. Without realizing it my powers started to probe through minds. Suddenly I new Taryn had caused the fight. I wasn't really mad because I knew she was jealous of what Scott and I have. After school I went and talked things over with Scott and we went and saw Lord of the Rings, like he wanted. He should have gone to see it with Logan but I gave him what he wanted.

The next day at school I expected there to be some nasty rumor about me, started by Taryn of course. There wasn't. That's when I knew something was up. "Jean like, come on!" cried Kitty, "we're gonna be late!" Suddenly I saw Taryn walking down the hall. Her head was down and her back was slumped. She came up to me and said, "Jean I'm sorry I started that little fight you had with Scott." She looked up and ran off. I was shocked. Here was my former best friend, who now hated my guts, coming up to me and apologizing for something she started on purpose.

*Taryn's POV*

I ran. I kept running away from Jean so she couldn't say anything. Last night I had vowed that I would be nicer to the mutants, especially Jean. I don't know what made me do it, I just did. Maybe it was just a side effect of the current insanity I was going through. I didn't have any classes with Jean until later that day so I wouldn't have to deal with the side effects of my apology until later.

"Mom I'm home!" I yelled. It was the end of the day and I was making plans to go see a movie with Duncan. I'd call him later but right now I had too much to do. To bad there wasn't two of me. (He, he, he foreboding isn't it?) "Oh good Taryn, you are home. Why don't you" My mom stopped dead in her tracks. "What?" I turned around, "HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!" Right behind me was...myself. I reached out to touch it but my hand went right through it. I knew what I was now. I was a mutant.

I ran up to my room as fast as I could without looking at my mother. I sat on my bead and started to cry. "No, this can't be!" I yelled. I stood up and kicked whatever was closest to me, which happened to be my bed. I wasn't sad or scared, I was angry and disgusted. Now everyone would hate me if they found out, especially Duncan. I had seen what teasing the Xavier kids had gone through. I would not go through that. I would not let anyone find out. 'Still' that wicked voice in my head added, 'wouldn't it be fun to use your powers?' 'No!' I thought forcefully, 'I will never, ever use them!' 'And have no fun?' 'NO!!!!!' I just stood there arguing with myself for no damn reason.

"Taryn! Dinner!" I heard my mom call. I reluctantly left my room to go down to the table. I sat down in front of my mother. "So Taryn how was your day?" my mom asked like she would any other day. 'If that's the way she wants to play it,' I thought, 'let's keep on playing.' "Fine," I replied nonchalantly. "I was wondering if you would like to stay home tomorrow." I knew there was a catch. "Okay," I replied in a neutral tone. "Mommy, Mommy! Guess what Tabitha did today!" my 7 year old brother broke in. The rest of dinner went by in chit, chat like this.

The next morning I woke up with a horrible head ache. I moaned in pain as I rolled out of bead and ended up on the floor. I went looking for some Aspirin (is that right? Spell check says it is,) downstairs. Instead I found coffee. I heard voices in the living room. My brother was already at school so it wasn't him. I went to sneak a peak. My mom was at the door. "Come in Mister Xavier. I'll go wake Taryn." I heard my mom say. She stepped aside as...

A/N: Did you like my cliffhanger. I'm thinking of something different happening instead of a character joining the X-men blah blah blah. Review if you want more review if you don't. It just helps my self esteem. I'm sorry I took so long in updating but the 7th grade sucks with both History Day and Science Fair. Grrrr may whoever invented those two things rot in hell with Kikyo. Thank for building up my self esteem my 3 reviewers! Those verys helped a lot Shade! Even if it was biased. Well sorry if that took waaaaay to long but I hope it was worth it! Bye!
